Platform Lifts in West Sussex — Home & Commercial Installation
West Sussex runs from the cathedral city of Chichester and the racing at Goodwood, across the chalk ridge of the South Downs, to the castle town of Arundel and the seaside resorts of Worthing and Bognor Regis. Flint villages and market towns give it a quintessentially southern English character.
We install across Chichester, Worthing, Crawley, Horsham and Arundel. Flint cottages, Georgian townhouses and Downs-edge homes suit the OnLevel system, which fits into existing buildings on a shallow pit and is commissioned in days.
West Sussex blends the flint cottages and Georgian streets of Chichester and Arundel with the South Downs villages and the coastal homes of Worthing and Bognor Regis. The OnLevel lift's reversible installation suits the county's protected and period stock, while weather-rated options handle the exposed Sussex coast — all on a shallow pit that avoids disturbing older floors.
The OnLevel system requires only a 150mm pit and an 850 × 850mm platform footprint, making it suitable for period properties, listed buildings, and modern developments alike. Installation completes in 3–5 days with no hot works, no welding, and no crane required. We hold SafeContractor accreditation (CN8516) and every installation is carried out to EN 81-41.

West Sussex — Common Questions
Where in West Sussex do you install platform lifts? ▾
We cover the whole of West Sussex from our base in Chelmsford, Essex. The same Base OnLevel engineers who handle the project assessment carry out the installation — there is no local subcontracting. If you are unsure whether we cover your specific location, call us on 01245 968541 or use the contact form.
How long does a platform lift installation take in West Sussex? ▾
Physical installation of an OnLevel platform lift takes 3–5 days on site. Before that, we confirm your specification and the lift is manufactured and delivered — the typical order-to-installation window across West Sussex is around nine weeks. There is no excavation, no hot works, and no structural shaft required, so disruption is minimal compared with a traditional passenger lift.
Do I need planning permission for a platform lift in West Sussex? ▾
Internal platform lifts generally fall under permitted development and do not require planning permission. Listed buildings and properties within conservation areas across West Sussex may require listed building consent or conservation area consent. We confirm this for your specific property as part of the project assessment, so you have a clear picture before committing.
Are OnLevel platform lifts suitable for older properties in West Sussex? ▾
Yes. The 150mm pit depth and 850 × 850mm footprint are designed specifically for properties where deep excavation is not feasible. This makes the system well suited to the period and Victorian housing stock found across much of West Sussex, where a traditional lift shaft would require significant structural modification.
